Providing compassionate care in a comfortable environment

When you need to be admitted, Novant Health Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital is dedicated to providing you with the best care during your hospital stay. No matter how long or short your stay, our expert and compassionate healthcare professionals work together to make your time here is as pleasant as possible.

When you are receiving inpatient care at our facility, it will often be administered by specialists known as hospitalists. These hospital-based physicians bring an increased level of experience and training to assure you are well cared for in a comfortable environment.

What is a hospitalist?

A hospitalist is an internal medicine doctor who specializes in inpatient medical care. Typically, your family doctor will have a hospitalist care for you while you are receiving inpatient treatment. Once treatment is complete, the hospitalist will help you transition back to your family doctor.

If you do not have a primary care physician, the hospitalist can care for you during your stay. Once you are discharged from the hospital, the hospitalist can refer you to a primary care physician for further treatments.

Novant Health’s hospitalists serve you in a variety of ways, including:

Assess and treat your medical condition throughout your stay

Coordinate your hospital care including diagnostic tests such as x-rays, blood tests or other procedures

Arrange specialty care including therapy or consults with other specialists

Transition your medical care back to your physician who will resume responsibility after discharge
